>Rating
If you like a setup, let that person know. If you see a poor setup, offer them advice and criticism. Giving mere numerical ratings does not help much. Not rating others will highly decrease the chance of your setup being rated.
>>6636995
r8, suggest, laugh at me.
Rate me?
>>6637104
Are those two separate thoughts, or one? What about it do you find ugly? I don't personally find the artist name useful to me, and I can see the song name text fine, The whole schtick is a little transparency. Other than that the whole background is just the current album art.
Its been a while, went to my klwp and nova apps and restored my last rice from like January I guess, hope I find the time to update it and create something new/better idk
>>6637025
Font is kinda ugly m8
>>6637062
Can barely see with that Pape
Suggestions/improvements pls, kinda new to this.
>>6637025
Font is ugly, also I would get rid of the grey banner on things, like the clock and music runtime.
>>6637062
Conversely, put banners on all your things. It's hard to see anything without.
Also battery in the center, why
>>6637128
Wallpaper hurts to look at... But other than that, it's simple, nice. I would just change the colour scheme.
How do I make this look better? Ignore the bar on the top of the screen, it appeared when I was taking a screenshot.
>>6636995
Why are there 2 "official homescreen #78"s?
Update
I like to keep it a clean slate, how's it look?
>>6637062
5/10, Can't see shit, cap'n
>>6637128
6/10, Wouldn't want to use that phone at night
>>6637148
8/10, Nice and simple, although I can't read shit
>>6637150
7/10, like the wallpaper, but too many icons.
>>6637217
8/10, I like it. Still though, >2 clocks
>>6637268
9/10, neat layout, what are you using?
>>6637273
widgets/10, can't stand widgets...
>>6637332

>>6637062
Update
>>6637324
Is that seriously all you are going to provide?
Take a WebM and show us how you get to your apps.
>>6637150
Icons, wallpaper and widget please?
>>6637357
I'm too damn tired to make a webm, so I'll just tell you.
Swiping up brings up the app drawer, and double tapping brings up Chrome, the only app I use 90% of the time.
>I only have the free version of the Apex launcher.
Whoops that was my old setup :^)
(why are there two threads)
I wannaknow how this was made, i want it.
>>6637148
This is without doubt the most beautiful phone theme I have seen. How did you achieve this?
What language is that?
>>6637268
I can only find one. Also what the fuck happend to Adrift and Enscorcell?
Rate me boys. I'm a grrllll btw
>>6637565
Yea use Adrift's
r8 mine pls
>>6637362
Icons: Iride UI is Hipster
Widget: Modified Phoenix for Zooper
>>6637759
thanks anon
>>6637439
it's japanese
The music player can be opened and closed. It hides itself after ten seconds.
I stole this idea from another person so if you are around sorry m8 I just liked how it showed the desktop with out really loosing functionality.
>>6637025
7/10 it's OK but I would a bit more effort
>>6637062
6/10 nothing really done here.
>>6637128
8/10 Simple clean and straight to the point. It's nice. I would have put some extras but it pretty much speaks for itself.
>>6637148
7.5/10 for someone who is new nice work. Play around with klwp a but more and you will make something to wow everyone.
>>6637150
7.5/10 it's not really that different from a default layout. But I'll give you credit for finding that sweet icon pack and clock.
>>6637217
Klwp
>>6637268
Ur the guy from last thread. Great improvements. 9/10
>>6637273
Much better 9/10
>>6637324
> I like to keep it clean.
Meaning you are too lazy to really do anything. 3/10
>>6637332
It's cool 6.5/10
>>6637366
Webm is messing up for me but this is extremely pretty 10/10
>>6637561
Pick better color choices 6/10
>>6637614
It's alright but kinda unoriginal. 7/10
Do not post in this thread any more post here
>>6636637
>>6637268
I've scrapped this setup, so if anyone wants it, here is the .klwp file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/d9skexd6n89bk4u/Mountains_and_stuff.klwp
Also, I changed the wallpaper before I exported it, and now I can't reimport it to change it because I don't have pro. So, Just save attached pic and swap it out if you want
>>6637802
Could you link the wallpaper and if you have time, what you used to make this?
Something I quickly through together
>>6637565
yeah
>>6638051
Klwp
>>6638097
pls share .klwp
New to ricing, what do you guys think?
>>6636995
What do you use for your icons OP?
>>6636995
uninspired
>>6638611
Guys first one or this one?
Use the other thread dummies
>>6638505
whatcha using there
r8
>>6638658
to be honest wallpaper is not mixing well with icons
Holy fuck stop posting in this thread
>>6638882
last post here is 7 mins ago
and last post there is 4 hours ago
>>6638888
Yeah because people keep posting here when they shouldn't
>>6637614
Do you have to click on the middle before switching pages?
So, to get a my phone to look like the ones posted here I just need to use KLWP, right?
Am I missing something?
>>6638921
Nope, KLWP is extremely versatile and will allow you to do almost anything you see here, there are a few specific things like notification counters and custom actions that will require tasker, but you will most likely just need KLWP
>>6638921
A custom launcher (Nova, Apex) also helps, along with an icon pack and a good wallpaper. It may not sound like much but to make something that's good, it's imperative to have all the components fit together and for you to exercise real taste; the homescreens here weren't thrown together in 5 minutes (well, not the good ones).
>>6638928
I highly recommend you try to replicate some of the more complex homescreens you see here in order to get a handle on KLWP, then attempt to make your own homescreen.
>>6638929
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
>>6637217
Can you post that paper?
Dunno how I feel about this, kinda like it, kinda wanna puke. Please rate.
>>6637364
Okay thankyou, that's quite similar to mine.
>>6638880
Nah just KLWP
How did this guy from /g/ do this?
I really wanna steal this.
>>6639960
Probably klwp, this would be really easy to recreate
Give me some advice
any wallpaper suggestions?
Kinda poor, thoughts? What to improve
Protip: no paid apps
>>6640207
Forgot pic
Quick question, since Fire OS is a modified Android OS, would ricing work on it?
>>6640207
Get the Google Opinion Rewards app. Easy money.
Lockscreen
>>6640366
Homescreen
>>6640202
Try to find an icon pack that is in flat color.
>>6640366

>>6640505
8/10
Missed a few replies from the last thread sorry - semester started and I'm already swamped.
Here's the image I used and yes, I did use klwp. I'll be searching up how to change colours on icons next.
not sure how I fucked that up but there u go lol
>>6638505
Really like those kind of wallpapers. Used one with the golden skull for a long while.
7/10 kinda plain and id sacrifice more for the black/gold colour theme
>>6640552
Can you share your home screen then?
>>6640102
Not him but I'd like to know how to do this also. Could you tell me the options for the bottom two widgets? I can do the picture one. Thanks
>>6640206
Icons?
>>6640202
Fucked up colors
i just got a new phone. havent rooted or anything ive only used Nova. howd I do for my first go at it?
>>6640975
Windows 95
>>6640202
How'd you do that boarder thing around the girl?
Also anybody know where I can get KLWP Pro for free?
>>6640976
I like yours could i download that?
>>6640984
sure how do i give it to you?
These neat alterations are interesting, but getting into it seems overwhelmingly complicated
>>6641019
Well, there is a lot of templates for klwp to get you started.
>>6639960
Pulling my hair out trying to recreate this in KLWP.
Could any pros whip this up real quick and upload the files for me?
Ok this is better
>>6640202
How can I move three layers in KLWP so they stay together?
It's Stroke, Fill and Text. I've got them all aligned how I want them, but the whole thing is a bit too high.
>>6641071
You need to put them all into an overlay group, then move the overly group.
>>6641075
Cheers. Thank you very much.
>>6639960
Gave it my best shot. How'd I do?
Images are placeholders until I get one with the desired resolutions.
>>6640659
What font is the 'nine' in?
>>6641104
Make the font a touch thicker.
The centre and bottom boxes can be slightly taller; just try bringing down the bottom one to fill that dead space at the bottom of the screen.
The Icons are also too close to the border at the top and bottom, so maybe redo your grid to line them up better.
Those are errors in detail, but the design is good.
on my shitty backup phone
Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of the statusbar icons to black on the homescreen, but white everywhere else?
Thank
>>6643149
Change the drawer icon
What are some good news and weather widgets?
>>6640342
Got it a month ago.
Not one review given. What the fuck?
>>6644554
When you first download the app, you have to complete a survey that basically tells google what demographic you are. I guess you're not the target demographic for most of their surveys
>>6643179
Get the colors equal. And it's kinda boring
>>6643116
Not bad. The dock doesn't fit in though.
>>6640976
Neat.
idk how I feel about this one
first time using any of this, did i do alright?
>>6644849
try using same fonts and colors for text
Does KLWP have to always be running? If I clear all my running apps it gets rid of my live wallpaper.
First time using KLWP. Did I do alright? Suggestions on improvements appreciated.
New to this, don't have any idea what to put on the other screens but like how they look.
>>6645216
oh nice I'm retarded
Anyone know how to create an icon pack?
>>6637366
Cozy as fuck, anon. Hope you don't mind if I use this as "inspiration."
Simple.
>>6645494
Great song. Love it, Her, and IFHY.
>>6639960
My attempt. What to you think anon?
Just got into phone ricing
Ios 9.3.2 jailbroke the day the chinese jailbreak came out, no themes yet just noblur.
>>6640841
I don't suppose you could post that pape?
>>6644849
I'd remove icon text and maybe change clock font but it's not terrible for a first try,
>>6647350
Not him, but reserve image search?
If that returns nothing it's not hard to extract from the screenshot there since the parts that have UI elements are on one colour background.
>>6647329
Hmm do they have icon packs for the jailbreak too?
>>6646868
Diy/10
>>6646762
Not bad but probably change the background tabs to dark blue than teal green but besides that pretty good job.
R9 plz
>>6647413
Yeah winterboard works but I dunno if I'm ready to trust the themes yet
>>6647423
Rip
Kinda hard without somethimg to rate
>>6637427
All I have is klwp and nova launcher just get creative.
>>6647424
Man, i remember when i had to get some wierd acronym to even have drop down notifications and landscape
Old ios was comfy as fuck
>>6647582
I agree
Just moved back to Android after being on iOS for 2 years. What did i miss?
>>6637355
Mind sharing the wallpaper?
>>6640976
Icon pack?
First time ever racing and I just wanted the simple look
>>6647875
Ricing* fuck
>>6647773
A shitload бpaт, but you could start from switching the icon pack, removing the notification bar and staying on one page.
hp is battery
mp is steps/100
current quest is current song
suggestion and rate welcome
>>6637366

>>6636995
I'm going through absolute hell trying to root my device. I've followed multiple guides with no success. Can anybody help me out?
Is my phone doomed to be a normie mobile device forever?
>>6648036
If there is literally nothing in the xda forums about it, you're fucked.
It's pretty bad, I know.
I just can't come up with something good for this wallpaper :c
>>6647893
KLWP? How did you get the animated background?
>>6640505
Nice r32 :)
>>6637128
Nice and simple
>>6637025
Looks pretty good, perhaps get a smaller navbar with no background though, it's a bit of an eyesore in my opinion
best girl :^)
Probably gonna keep it this way for a while
Thoughts?
>>6648103
it's a widget GIF
>So many people here using cuckbook
>>6649894
What else do you fug qts with?
minimalistic and a bit depressing ones for phones
>>6649904
Real life interactions. You should try it someday.
>>6647875
I personally wouldn't use it, but it's okay. Remove the tool bar thing at the top. Don't have two clocks
What sites do you use when you're looking for mobile wallpapers? I know many will recommend Zedge and WallBB but those are full ratio papes meant for large devices, im looking for papers designed for phones, can anyone help me out?
I'll post mine here too I guess, even though I've posted this in the other thread.
>>6649982
Honestly I think it's better to just crop to your mobile resolution.
>>6649894
I'd move the bottom icons to the left, positioning them vertically so when you're using your phone (assuming you're right-handed) you have easy access when using it one-handed.
>>6648632
Looks cluttered, but it's fine if you use all of those apps daily.
>>6648619
Clean although not very "original", if I was nitpicky.
>>6648503
How did you get that equalizer there lol. Looks good.
>>6648071
I'd say its fine desu
>>6647944
The skip buttons could be placed a bit further apart, but that might just be because my thumbs are huge.
>>6648036
It's a Galaxy S4 AT&T, you'll find something on XDA for sure.
>>6647893
Nice to see people using the pixelated theme.
>>6647875
Don't have two clocks, otherwise I like the purple transparency.
>>6647773
Get KLWP + Nova + a good icon pack.
>>6650048
Oh yeah, and you guys should really learn to rate others before posting your rice. It ensures people get opinions on their homescreens.
